Abstract
Project planning is an essential element in the management and execution of construction projects. However, keeping plans up-to-date and properly implementing these plans are challenging. The study therefore evaluated the impact of planning processes and implementation on construction project performance. The study also investigated the factors influencing project planning and implementation. The performance measures: scope, quality, time, budget, resources and risk were considered. A total of 108 questionnaires were administered to professionals in construction firms in Lagos state, Nigeria. A quantitative research method was adopted. Data was obtained based on stratified sampling technique through the use of questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, Spearman’s rank correlation and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the collected data. It was discovered that there exists a positive relationship between the level of awareness and the extent of implementation of the planning processes. The study also revealed that the extent of planning processes and implementation have significant effect on the performance of construction projects. Among a total of seven (7) factors investigated, top ranked factors influencing project planning are type of client and type of project. Among a total of ten (10) factors influencing implementation of project plans on site, top ranked factors were insufficient finance, changes in clients’ requirement and difficulties of coordination between various parties working on the project. The study concluded that an increase in the level of awareness of planning processes is directly proportional to an increase in the extent of implementation on construction projects
